Pixar - The Good Dinosaur

After getting delayed last year, we finally get a look at the movie.

Looks tantalizing! Want to see more!

STOP BEING SO ADORABLE, PIXAR!
JUST STOP!

(only don't.)

Finally a dinosaur movie for kids that isn't "A Land before Time." I can't remember the last one besides that.

I just read that this movie, Is basically a Boy and his Dog story, Except that, It's a Dinosaur and his Human, The Human being the Dog.

Some good stuff on the story:

The Good Dinosaur, which hits theaters on Nov. 25, tells the story of a young Apatosaurus named Arlo who gets separated from his pack and must find his way back home to his family. Along the way, he meets a young human that he names Spot, turning the film into a boy-and-his-dog story — one in which the dinosaur is the boy, and the human is the dog.

“Arlo himself is what we would have become, able to articulate and have certain emotions and connection to family,” Sohn explained. “They’ve become us, essentially… I’m trying to treat Spot in a very kind of animalistic way, where he doesn’t speak very much. He’s very feral.”

Quote:

One element Sohn introduced was the use of nature itself as a main antagonist, which helps explain why the environments are the most realistic looking backdrops ever seen in a Pixar film.

“We’ve been trying to find physical obstacles and and emotional obstacles for our main character, and nature can represent both,” he said. “In a lot of the research that we’ve done, going out into the Northwest and out into the wilderness, I cannot tell you how beautiful and scary it can be, and how quickly nature can just turn on you. And we’re trying to finding the truth in that in terms of Arlo’s growth.”

Not a fan that they're still using outdated 90s versions of what Dinosaurs looked like, it would be nice to have more scientifically correct dinosaurs. How have Pixar movies been? I didn't enjoy any of the post Up Pixar movies so I've yet to check out anything new they've made in the past few years..

Toy Story 3 was after Up and really good. Brave and Monsters University are just alright and Cars 2 is garbage. This doesn't look great to me, either.

That depends on who you talk to...

And yeah...I'm a little disappointed the dinosaurs don't have feathers.
They'd look so badass with feathers.

Lack of feathers aside, it looks pretty darn cute.

I think I just believed the internet hype that Pixar could do no wrong but slowly started to realize that Pixar was always hit or miss. Some are amazing master pieces while other movies are just alright and others are just terrible.

Well the premise of the movie is that the Asteroid missed the earth so the Dinosaurs continued to live on. It's not a wild idea that humans would've evolved as well.

To be fair Dinosaur (2000) while an awesome movie, it's pretty much a new version of The Land Before Time.

The Ice Age movies aren't really Dinosaur movies. In fact I remember interviews during the first movie they always pointed this fact out during interviews. Of course the third movie featured a frozen T-Rex but that's believable and he didn't appear in the fourth movie.

The other day I saw this movie with feathered dinosaurs, they looked so awesome, too bad the movie was crap. It's sad but the reason we think of Dinosaurs the way we are is because of Jurassic Park changing the ideas of what dinosaurs looked like. Now that we have a better idea we need a new movie that brings all these ideas to the mainstream. A feathered Dinosaur starts looking a lot cooler the more you look at it, heck I thought the non-tripod T-Rex wasn't as cool as the tripod T-Rex but now I learned to accept and prefer the non tripod look. Same with feathered dinos, I hated the idea in the early 2000's and now I love it.

Was that Dinosaur Island? I haven't seen it but I liked the design of the dinosaurs. They messed up calling it Dinosaur Island though - do a Google image search to find out why...

"Just like paradise only better" :tlol::tlol:

They completely changed the voice cast with the exception of Frances McDormand. I love that Sam Elliott is voicing the big T-Rex.

Quote:

Raymond Ochoa (The Night Shift) provides the voice of an Apatosaurus named Arlo.
Jeffrey Wright (The Hunger Games: Mockingjay) was tapped as the voice of Poppa, Arlo’s father.
Steve Zahn (Rescue Dawn) provides the voice of a pterodactyl named Thunderclap.
AJ Buckley (Justified) voices a T-Rex called Nash.
Anna Paquin (True Blood) is the voices of T-Rex Ramsey.
Sam Elliott (Justified) was called on as the voice of a tough T-Rex named Butch.
Frances McDormand (Fargo) was tapped as the voice of Momma, Arlo’s mother.
Marcus Scribner (black-ish) voices Arlo’s brother Buck.
Jack Bright (Monsters University) provides the voice of Arlo’s unlikely human friend, Spot.
